Day 143/365: Unclutter bingo card

[nanila]

As a project-within-a-project, and because the state of my home office is beginning to horrify me, I’m making myself an Unclutter Bingo Card, with the goal of completing at least one of these tasks per week and finishing by the end of the year.

Plain text version of the list

unclutter bingo card, my clothing, jewellery, pantry, photography equipment, dvd, kids’ craft materials, paperwork filing, knick-knack, stationery, e-mail, computer backup, bedside books, medicine cabinet, toy bucket, makeup, something that makes you feel guilty, holiday decorations, under the bed, paperwork shredding, painting materials, abandoned project, cd/lp, kids’ clothing

The list is included as plain text above, in case you wish to use it as a basis to generate your own bingo card. (I used the 5x5-with-Wild Card option. h/t to fred_mouse for the link and the idea.) Please note I have included “Unclutter bingo card” on the bingo card. I will passionately defend this as a correct choice, in the same way that putting “Write list” as the first item on a to-do list is.

Oooh, how cool is that! Also thanks so much for linking to the generator! I may still that for after the move, to address all the boxes that have spend the last five years waiting for me back in Germany ...

I've only ever seen bingo cards used for writing, so I'm excited about this new application of it. Good luck with the move!

Ooh, what a great idea, and yes, making the list is a big step and deserves a tick of its own, always.

*fist-bump of solidarity* I like this application of bingo cards. If it goes well, I may apply it to something else.

I use them when my to do list makes me squirrelly. I go for picking the top 24 items that catch my attention, and then try and get anything done.

Today I did the "something that makes you feel guilty". For months, I'd been putting off carting the crumbling wooden flower containers from the front of the house to the back, and disposing of the dirt & breaking up the containers for firewood.

I DID IT. Well, most of it. I moved all four of the containers one at a time in the wheelbarrow, and then deposited them in a place where it will be easy to scoop out the dirt and scatter it on the flower beds later. I broke up the upper sections of the containers and put them on the wood pile. I also swept up all the dirt and detritus from the front of the house and it looks a lot nicer now without the rotten containers blocking the view of the roses. YAY.
